As I'm writing this I can't believe it. CC just called me and offered me a TC.

I don't know what else to say - I'm in disbelief.

if you have any specific questions let me know and I'll try my best but I'm really really freaking out right now.

Thank you to everyone on this site that has ever helped me with anything though.
Hi, I am really happy for you. I also had my interview on the 19th of January and waiting for my TC offer. What did your feedback entail?

I haven't heard back yet, but I am assuming FF are going to be back to people really soon. Maybe even this week for AC. Because on the email it said that they are carrying out AC in Feb
yeah that’s what i thought! i thought at least this week getting back to us because they must give us like a weeks notice? any way, hopefully you get AC!!
